Mexico


We decided to take a tour to the blowhole and the market.  We fired any question we could think of to our bus driver who was very accommodating.  We wanted to learn about this area we were in.

Encenada, Mexico.

The market was a trip!  It was wild being asked
in every moment what we wanted to buy,
that we needed too come and see whatever they
were buying, and that "oh we had come back to 
see them."  Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming.
And someone slept through the whole thing!!!





Blowhole





The next adventure was Dev, Andrew, and Bobo
being able to play with these guys for a bit.





love that face!

Next stop: horse riding!







So on my bucket list is riding horses on the beach.
However, we were on a path in-between beach and street.
It did not hold the romantic view I had pictured.
Thankfully my "guide" I think was tired of walking my
horse and thought I could handle it so I was able to
ride without anyone holding my horse.  But the kids
really wanted to ride free so we had that going on.
Needless to say, its still on the bucket list!



A great artist.  There is such need there.  It is sad.  Such desperation
for passerbyers to stop and support them.  You can either
ignore (which doesn't feel great) or keep stopping 
(getting hopes up and then have to let them down and say no,
which doesn't feel good).

put on for him.

and hoping for a win!



Forever ice cream for Bobo on the trip.
Unlimited and free!



Oh yes, cruise life!

Pool was a bit chilly!

Tia and I had our talk time.  I was not going
to let her off the boat with out one!


Last dinner






Last dance party!
Worn out!
So long Cruise life!
So what did we think?  Our kids definitely enjoyed
it more than us.  It was interesting taking in the
subculture of a cruise.  I think Andrew and I would 
try one more but its not totally our thing.  The
kids loved the freedom (we didn't always know
where Bobo was), the unlimited food that they 
didn't have to pay for, and walking around the
boat.  Andrew compared it to a wedding
reception for people we didn't know well.
But fun to try!  And good to see Papa D and Tia.


Sharing last stories....

Aloha for now!
